Almost 4 year old peeing pants for attention?

Shultzbaby2014 · May 2014

Hello, I am 10 weeks pregnant and my very smart daughter knows about mommy's new baby on the way. She has been potty trained for a year and all of the sudden she is peeing her pants. She is smiling and wants to show me where she peed and to share the news with Grammy. I am thinking she is doing this for attention in light of the baby news. I just don't know how to discourage her from not doing it. Please help if you have any similar experiences or advice.

When I was newly pregnant, my son was acting out a lot, including being aggressive toward me and my belly. We finally figured out that he was having some major anxiety about the baby, so we backed off the baby talk a lot and focused a ton of positive attention on him, and that seemed to help.

My son has been potty trained for a couple months now, but he still occasionally will "revenge pee" when he is angry at me. I usually make him take off his wet pants and clean up the area. He even helps me with the laundry. I don't make a big deal about it. I might say, "Well, I'm sorry you peed in your bedroom. Now it is all wet and we have to stop playing to clean it up".
